This changes simplifies the specification of functionObjects in
controlDict and is consistent with the 'libs' option in controlDict to
load special solver libraries.
Support for the old 'functionObjectLibs' name is supported for backward compatibility.
for consistency with the time controls in controlDict and to avoid
unnecessary confusion. All code and tutorials have been updated.
The old names 'outputControl' and 'outputInterval' are but supported for
backward compatibility but deprecated.

- .org is the file extension for emacs org-mode as well
- .orig is more to the point (.org isn't always recognized as "original")
- .original is too long, although more consistent with the convention
of source code file naming

This default number of processors may be overridden by the new "-np"
option to runParallel which must be specified before the application
name e.g.:
runParallel -np 4 pisoFoam
The built-in explicit symplectic integrator has been replaced by a
general framework supporting run-time selectable integrators. Currently
the explicit symplectic, implicit Crank-Nicolson and implicit Newmark
methods are provided, all of which are 2nd-order in time:
Symplectic 2nd-order explicit time-integrator for 6DoF solid-body motion:

Can only be used for explicit integration of the motion of the body,
i.e. may only be called once per time-step, no outer-correctors may be
applied. For implicit integration with outer-correctors choose either
CrankNicolson or Newmark schemes.
Example specification in dynamicMeshDict:
solver
{
type symplectic;
}
Newmark 2nd-order time-integrator for 6DoF solid-body motion:
Reference:
Newmark, N. M. (1959).
A method of computation for structural dynamics.
Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 85(3), 67-94.
Example specification in dynamicMeshDict:
solver
{
type Newmark;
gamma 0.5; // Velocity integration coefficient
beta 0.25; // Position integration coefficient
}
Crank-Nicolson 2nd-order time-integrator for 6DoF solid-body motion:
The off-centering coefficients for acceleration (velocity integration) and
velocity (position/orientation integration) may be specified but default
values of 0.5 for each are used if they are not specified. With the default
off-centering this scheme is equivalent to the Newmark scheme with default
coefficients.
Example specification in dynamicMeshDict:
solver
{
type CrankNicolson;
aoc 0.5; // Acceleration off-centering coefficient
voc 0.5; // Velocity off-centering coefficient
}
Both the Newmark and Crank-Nicolson are proving more robust and reliable
than the symplectic method for solving complex coupled problems and the
tutorial cases have been updated to utilize this.
In this new framework it would be straight forward to add other methods
should the need arise.

so that the specification of the name and dimensions are optional in property dictionaries.
Update tutorials so that the name of the dimensionedScalar property is
no longer duplicated but optional dimensions are still provided and are
checked on read.
LTS is selected by the ddt scheme e.g. in the
tutorials/multiphase/interFoam/ras/DTCHull case:
ddtSchemes
{
default localEuler rDeltaT;
}
LTSInterFoam is no longer needed now that interFoam includes LTS
support.
